Snowing big style here in Winsford

[lancs blue]

Exactly. Scousers are posh.

You've been in Ireland too long. ;-)

Exactly. Scousers are posh.

Posh Scousers live in the home counties....

You’re joking aren’t you? Winsford is a right little inbred Scouse-overspill shithole.

Twenty odd years ago when I worked for a discount toiletry and household wholesaler, I called into two chemists in Winsford, one in the town centre and the other on the outskirts in a small shopping centre
The one on the outskirts was the only store open til late and it sold all kind of stuff, including blank video tapes
The woman who did the buying told me one late night she was the only member of shop staff on duty and a lad came in, picked up his prescription, he walked down the shop, grabbed an arm full of the blank videos and walked out
She saw him and shouted "hey!" and he was going to go after him but thought the wiser
About ten seconds later the door opened and the videos got launched into the store and a voice shouted "they're a load of fucking shite anyway"

Which brings me onto another story from another employer
I worked with a real hardcore Liverpool fan from Norris Green and he told me all about Liverpool's European exploits and adventures. They really were scumbags
He also told me about trips to English grounds and how they would steal anything, such as at a motorway services and the individual portions of cake that are laid out. The scousers would pick them off the plate and stuff it into their pockets
I asked "why?"
He said "because we can"

There are third generation scousers in Winsford who call everybody "yoos"

That's an Irish thing as well. When someone is talking to a group, it'll be "how are yous?" @Nebuchadnezzar will back me up on this.

I can confirm. Awful habit.

Not quite as bad as how's she cuttin', mind.

Snowing on and off here, just about to take the huskies out in it.
Wish me luck : )

I may be gone for some time.!!!

Almost 4 years after the move and I'm not sure my neighbour and I fully understand each other!

Joe Pesci says it a lot as well.
